Nintendo released their financial results for the first quarter of the year (April 1st through June 30th, 2015) and the results were positive. They reported a profit of ¥8,284 million, which is about $66,833,489 U.S. dollars. Last year this time, they reported a loss of ¥9,924 million, which is about $80,064,648.

The idea of a Nintendo themed box-service service actually would make a whole lot of sense. Considering the hype and craze over the Amiibos, I can see a service like this taking off. All of that in mind, Nintendo has yet to confirm or deny the existence of said service. That means, take it with a grain of salt.
